Add ingredients, cover and apply heat. Can't get much simpler can it? About the same as saying have brush, apply paint and spread on canvas. What this french oven gives you is the proper tool to create. There are several copies of this French Oven that sell for less. However, this pot started it all and I don't see a reason to mess with perfection. | 5 | Today | Forgot it on the stove once
I have this in the "citrus" color. This one time, I left it on the stove pre-heating before I add oil and forgot about it. It got pretty hot and now the bottom has all these little tiny hairline cracks in them. The pot is still fine, but now it stains a lot easier. I have to put bleach and water in it every once in a while to get rid of the stains.
The lesson here is: Don't forget about your $250 dutch oven on the stove. | 5 | Today | Wonderful!
I love this pot!! It's perfect for stews and chili--or anything that needs you to brown the meat before adding the liquid ingredients. | 5 | Today | Think before buying
I remember my grandma using the LeCreuset dutch/french ovens. She had them for some 30+ years before she passed away (LeCreuset survived her). I have always been impressed by the longevity of LeCreuset products. Of course, while they last, they may get chipped, or get dull, but I don't care about that. I don't need shiny, brand new looking cooking utensils. I care about the results, and there I think LeCreuset can not be beat. If you are into "slow-food" LeCreuset is your choice. So yes, as one of the reviewers pointed out, LeCreuset might outlive your kitchen design, or it may not look as fancy as All-Clad and whatever else show-off cooking ware is out there, but you have to think about what you are looking for in your pots and pans. I am aware that the prices are rather steep, but like most things, in the long run you spend less. I bought cheap pots and pans before which I then had to throw away because they became uneven and just would not conduct the heat evenly on an electric stove. I will gladly invest some more money into a LeCreuset and keep it for the next decades to come. | 5 | Today | Great for the tasks for which it's intended
First, I couldn't disagree more with the person who claimed getting one of these "sets" of the same line of cookware is a desirable thing. They tend to be overpriced and feature things you rarely use. (Notice they never feature a 5 qt sauté pan - but you can always count on some useless little 8 or 10-inch "omelette pan.") If you do any serious cooking, you know that certain cookware types are great for some tasks but not others. This goes for Le Creuset, copper, All-Clad Yuppieware, or whatever else. With that in mind, Le Creuset is made for - and best at - braising, stews, and other slow cooking. It's fabulous for things that go into the oven after starting on the stovetop (osso buco etc.). Yes, you should take care to use wooden spoons instead of metal on the enamel. And no, it doesn't fire up quickly. Then again, neither does All-Clad, it's much touted "inner layer " of aluminum notwithstanding. If you need to quickly sear things, black'n'blue steaks, etc. get yourself copper or Calphalon Pro Hard-anodized, both of which are much better heat conductors than steel. If you want to make Coq au Vin, curries, and other things that simmer gently or need to be finished in the oven, this is your guy. | 5 | Today | Great Investment - Great Food
My wife and I purchased a LeCruset pot three years ago and use it frequently. It truly creates an oven-like amosphers right on the stove top. Our range has settings from 1 through 8 and we never set the element under this pot above a four. It heats up quickly and holds its heat seemingly forever. Yes, it was rather pricey, but we feel it was worth the investment. The best of any product is always pricey. The interior enamel is slightly stained from use, but I'd guess that's to be expected. We wouldn't hesitate to make the investment all over again. | 5 | Today |
